Many people are discouraged at every turn, and subsequently,
turned off
to
the "Catholicism" they see in their parishes.
"Catholicism" practiced without a degree of simple Christianity
or
common courtesy.
Why
the hypocrisy of welcoming the divorced and remarried into
parishes
which offers you no rights or privileges other than parish
support?
A
parish which sees your new relationship as completely sinful
and
devoid of God's love regardless of how it happened.
To
never receive Communion again?
To be denied even a Catholic burial after years of parish support?
